What Are Muse Tokens? The 100-Million Free Weekly Allowance and Top-Up Tokens — How Long Do They Last?

Recently, many Muse users have been asking: what are Muse tokens, what are they for, and how long does a large amount like 31 billion tokens last? In a post in the group Muse AI Thực Chiến, author Nguyễn Đức Trung explained the mechanism in detail: tokens are like "fuel" for Muse to work; an account has two allowances — a free plan that resets weekly and top-up tokens that never expire; and usage can be checked right in Settings. This article organizes that content, with figures cited from the post and the Muse announcements the post quotes — users should compare them directly with the Settings screen in their own app, as limits and prices may change over time.

Quick answers

• What a Muse token is: per the post, a token is the unit of cost for Muse to work — chatting, creating videos, creating images or performing a task all consume tokens; the more complex the task, the more data Muse must process and the more operations it performs, and usually the more tokens it costs. The author compares tokens to gasoline: a motorbike needs fuel to run, and Muse needs tokens to work.
• An account has 2 allowances, visible at Settings → General Settings: line 1 is the free plan that resets weekly; line 2 is top-up tokens, marked as "never expires" and only drawn down after the week's free tokens are fully used.
• Free weekly plan: per the post, the free allowance is about 100 million tokens per week, automatically resetting to 100 million tokens every 7 days. Ordinary chatting or a few basic tasks under 100 million tokens a week are completely free; run out and you either wait for the reset date (November 19 in the post's illustrative screenshot) or use top-up tokens to continue.
• Top-up tokens: new accounts have no top-up tokens; per the post, entering an invite code grants 1 billion top-up tokens free. Spent top-up tokens are gone for good. Exhaust those too and you either wait for next week's free reset or tap Upgrade to buy more — per the post, about US$20 per 1 billion tokens according to Muse's announcement.
• How long 31 billion tokens last: the post gives no specific time figure — "31 billion tokens" is presented by the author as an opportunity to claim extra free tokens (via invite codes), with a detailed how-to promised in a later post. Actual duration depends entirely on usage: basic chatting costs little, creating videos or running tasks continuously for 24 hours costs much more.

What is a Muse token, and why does every task cost tokens?

Per the post, any AI costs its provider to run — whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Muse. When users chat, create videos, create images or perform a task, the cost varies with the task's complexity.

The author offers a simple image: tokens are like gasoline. A motorbike needs fuel to run; Muse needs tokens to work for the user. The more complex the task, the more data Muse must process and the more operations it performs, and usually the more tokens it costs. Understanding this explains why the same account can feel generous one week and run dry early the next: the difference lies in the type of tasks and the intensity of use.

How many allowances does a Muse account have, and where can you see them?

Per the post, a Muse account has 2 allowances, visible at Settings → General Settings (as in the screenshots attached to the post):

Allowance	How it works, per the post	When it is drawn down
Free plan	About 100 million tokens per week, automatically reset to 100 million tokens every 7 days	Drawn down first, in all usage
Top-up tokens	Marked as "never expires"	Only drawn down gradually after the week's free tokens are fully used

The Settings screen shows usage as a percentage for each line — in the post's illustrative screenshot, the free plan shows the weekly limit resetting on November 19, while top-up tokens show the percentage used and the tokens remaining. Users should check this screen directly in their own app for their account's current figures, rather than relying on someone else's screenshot.

The free 100-million-token weekly plan: what usage fits, and what happens when it runs out?

Per the post, using Muse only for ordinary chatting or a few basic tasks under 100 million tokens a week is completely free, and next week the allowance resets to 100 million tokens. In other words, for light chat and basic tasks, most users never need to pay extra.

However, the post also names cases that can exhaust 100 million tokens before the week ends: creating too many videos, running tasks continuously 24 hours without rest, or assigning overly complex tasks. When that happens, users have 2 options:

• Wait for the reset date — after a full 7 days, Muse resets 100 million tokens to continue working. The downside, per the author, is that this interrupts work in progress.
• Use top-up tokens — if the account still has top-up tokens, the system draws from them so work is not interrupted.

What are top-up tokens, and how do you get and buy them?

Top-up tokens are an account's reserve tokens, marked as "never expires". Per the post:

• New accounts have no top-up tokens. Entering an invite code grants 1 billion top-up tokens free.
• Spent top-up tokens are gone — unlike the free plan, which resets weekly, top-up tokens do not replenish on their own.
• When top-up tokens are exhausted too, users again have 2 options: pause until the weekly free plan resets, or tap Upgrade below and buy more tokens — per the post, about US$20 per 1 billion tokens according to Muse's announcement. The second screenshot attached to the post shows the top-up packages: US$10 = 500 million tokens, US$25 = 2 billion tokens, US$50 = 5 billion tokens, US$100 = 12 billion tokens.

Because prices and packages may change, users should check the current price list in the app's Upgrade section before deciding to buy.

How long do 31 billion tokens last?

This is the question in the post's title — and the honest answer is: the post gives no specific time figure, because duration depends entirely on how you use it. "31 billion tokens" is presented by the author as an opportunity to claim extra free tokens now as a reserve for later, with a detailed how-to promised in a later post.

Still, the figure can be put in context with the allowances the post describes, to grasp its scale:

• The free plan is about 100 million tokens per week — 31 billion tokens is roughly 310 times one free week.
• The invite-code gift is 1 billion tokens — 31 billion tokens is 31 times that gift.
• For someone who only chats and does basic tasks, such a large amount could serve as a reserve for a very long time; conversely, for someone creating many videos or running heavy tasks continuously, tokens run out much faster.

The author's message is: while Muse — per the post, officially launched on 08/09/2026 in the US market — is still in a phase with token-gift programs, users can take the opportunity to claim extra free tokens as a reserve, instead of waiting until they need them and paying. The author's next post is promised to explain in detail how to claim them.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Muse token?

Per the post, a token is the unit of cost for Muse to work: chatting, creating videos, creating images or performing tasks all consume tokens, and more complex tasks usually cost more. The author compares tokens to gasoline — Muse needs tokens to work, just as a motorbike needs fuel to run.

What is Muse's free allowance, and when does it reset?

Per the post, the free weekly allowance is about 100 million tokens per week and automatically resets every 7 days. Usage and the reset date are visible at Settings → General Settings in the app; each account's exact figures should be checked directly on that screen.

How do top-up tokens differ from the free plan?

Per the post, new accounts have no top-up tokens, entering an invite code grants 1 billion tokens, and more can be bought via Upgrade at about US$20 per 1 billion tokens.

What should I do if I run out of free tokens mid-week?

Per the post there are 2 options: wait for the weekly reset date (a full 7 days) to continue free, or use remaining top-up tokens so work is not interrupted. If top-up tokens are also exhausted, the options are to wait for the reset or buy more tokens via Upgrade.

How long do 31 billion tokens last?

The post gives no specific time because it depends on usage: basic chatting costs little, while creating videos and continuously running tasks cost much more. For scale: 31 billion tokens is roughly 310 times the free weekly allowance (100 million tokens) and 31 times the 1-billion-token invite gift, per the figures in the post.

Conclusion

Understanding the token mechanism helps Muse users plan better: the free plan of about 100 million tokens per week covers chatting and basic tasks; top-up tokens are a never-expiring reserve, obtained via invite codes or purchased; and every account's exact figures are visible at Settings → General Settings. As for "how long do 31 billion tokens last", there is no universal answer — it depends on whether you use Muse for a few messages a day or for heavy tasks running continuously. What is certain, per the post's message, is that claiming free tokens while programs are still available costs far less than waiting until you need them and buying more.
